Will USB port on a Kenwood KDC-255U In-Dash USB/CD play the music on a 8gb flash drive stick? Does info about each song show on radio?
25355
Yes the 8 GB flash drive will work with this CD player. The artists and song names will display on the head unit depending on how the files are transferred to the USB drive. For example if you take original not burnt CDs and rip them to your computer then copy them to your USB the artist and song names will appear normally..if you have multiple artists on a burnt mixed CD without any artist or track names then it will display as custom mix. If you use windows media player you can manually go into each song on your computer and change the artist and track info to the correct informAtion. Hope this helps

Yes it will play any music off any size flash drive. And it shows name, album name ect. So yes.

I have not actually tried this, I just plug my phone into the aux port, but AFAIK it should work fine. Also, modern android phones that use MTP can't interface with the stereo via the usb port but older androids can, and iphones work pretty well with it.

If you are referring to a USB drive externally, and yes it has a USB port on the front right hand side. You can load music on that and listen too

No, car USB port has no program tro convert cassett to MP3 format. In fact I can not make the cassett converter program work either, so if some one can help me I will try to return it.

I ripped the CDs using Windows Media Player, mostly in .mp3 format, to my "my Music folder". A folder with the CD title was created for each CD with the individual song as a file in that folder. I then copied the CD folder to the SDRAM and the player sorted it out and played the music. It will also accept a USB thumb drive, but the SDRAM takes up less phsical space.

Yes, it will play music files (mp3, wma, etc.) on a usb drive and it works with file folders on the drive. You can even use it to charge.

No. And, I can't get mine to play ANY mp3 on sd card or usb stick. May be operator error, a fluke or whatever - but now it's my fluke :-(.

Yes, as I understand you will the USB cables that plug into the back of the radio. I didn't get the USB cables which I think are extra as I just wanted to listen to the radio. Go to Jensen website as I'm sure they can explain it better.

Kerwin, the answer to your question is yes. I started playing my usb and then unplugged the unit. When I plugged it back in, it started playing again on it's own with out me doing anything. PS Be sure to move the selector knob to usb. Just tried it and if you don't move the selector knob the usb just flashes and doesn't play. So move the knob to usb. This happens to be a great little unit. :)

I drive a FJ and I have a stereo that I have two USB outlets. The stereo has a USB App that I use which shows the music on the USB Stick as well all the Recorded Radio Programs I have and I play them. I have over a dozen USB Sticks which I used but now I am switching over to Kingston Hyperx Predators because of the vast storage space and uses of their small compact sticks. Some stereo's only have USB slots for Map and system updates so you have to check if your USB is used for that, mine has a SD card slot for updates. My friends use their USB access for music, just like I do but not all stereo's do this. I drive a FJ and I have a stereo that I have two USB outlets.

There is a usb port on the top of the cabinet next to an apple port. When input is set to usb the receiver starts reading the flashdrive and begins to play mp3 and wma (and possibly other) files.

this is just an extension no electronics involved ,if you can play music plugging your flash drive directly into isimple interface then .yes it will play.

HI, Katheryn It wont work, the USB is only for flash drives with music files

I've been using the USB port to play music from my flash drive for several months--for hours at a time. Great device!

Let me ask, do you have it on the charger? Because if you do, it will not play the flash drive. Just as a suggestion, return it while you can because it is very hard to navigate your music files and then mine simply got stuck on one song and wouldn't play anything else. Needless to say, I trashed it about a month after I got it.

A flash drive with music will play. I pligged in my phone but it only charged it. Great radio though. You dony have to cut anything out if you have room on your console. Glad I bought it!

I have it hooked up thru MIDI (not USB) as there are no USB ports on this. I'm using the DD-65 to play the sounds from my computer. No lag. Works great.

Hi Download songs from your PC/laptop etc.or where ever you can to your usbstick/pen drive. Its not vital but the most important thing is the USB stick or Pen drive must be a 2GB one, not more than that. Otherwise it won't work on this system.Thanks.Ajay
